That's a mate in 4 you can quickly solve if the previous mate in 3 has you stumped.

Wait. Answer in forum "post your best miniatures here" Again, no offense.

Yes, but I think you meant the thread Post your best miniatures here in the forum Game Showcase.

You need to give the comment number of the position you're posting about.

Yes, it was. What happens if the black king starts on d5?

Avatar of scrabblechecs

White loses ?

Avatar of n9531l1

No.  (Maybe not as easy.)

Put the black king back on c5 and let Black move first. Now what happens?

A very similar position occurred in one of my games. Had one of my Rooks been moved by a single square, I would have been able to execute this gem. Enjoy! (White's last move was b3.)
EDIT: I realized there was a drawing line in the old puzzle. I shortened it by two plies.
